The UARA National Super Late Model season wraps up in grand fashion on Saturday, November 29 with the 10th Annual Bill Bigley, Sr. Memorial 128 at Freedom Factory.
The $30,000-to-win event has drawn an entry list of 50 cars, including NASCAR Cup Series competitor Carson Hocevar and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champions Ty Majeski and Johnny Sauter. They'll do battle against some of the best Super Late Model competitors from across the country, representing seven different states, as well as Florida's homegrown Late Model standouts looking to keep the Bigley Memorial trophy on home turf.

This year marks the 10th Annual Bill Bigley, Sr. Memorial 128. The event started in 2016 at Freedom Factory, then known as DeSoto Speedway, with Jesse Dutilly winning the inaugural running.
The event moved to the re-opened 4-17 Southern Speedway in Punta Gorda, Florida in 2017, with Steve Dorer scoring the victory after taking the lead from Dutilly with 15 laps to go. Anthony Sergi won in 2018, while Dutilly earned his second Bigley Memorial win in 2019 and Sergi joined him as a two-time winner in 2020.
Michael Atwell joined Sergi and Dutilly as two-time winners of the event when he became the first back-to-back Bigley winner in 2021 and 2022. Atwell's 2022 win marked the last Bigley Memorial at 4-17 Southern Speedway. However, 4-17 Southern Speedway closed again in 2022.
Just like after the inaugural Bigley Memorial, one door closing coincided with another door opening. YouTube personality Cleetus McFarland purchased the shuttered DeSoto Speedway property in the summer of 2020, extensively renovating the facility and renaming it "Freedom Factory."
The Freedom Factory hosted its first public event in February 2021, and became the new home of the Bigley Memorial in 2023. The event was already growing in stature and car count during the final years at 4-17 Southern Speedway, but the move to Freedom Factory and the addition of the UARA National sanctioning has helped the event grow to new heights.
Jett Noland won the first Bill Bigley, Sr. Memorial 128 at Freedom Factory in 2023, while Ty Majeski scored the victory in 2024 to lead a Wisconsin sweep of the podium.

This year's race pays $30,000 to the winner, and a stout field of 50 cars have entered. Along with the aforementioned Carson Hocevar, Ty Majeski and Johnny Sauter, past Bigley Memorial winners Michael Atwell and Jesse Dutilly will also be looking to return to victory lane.
Colin Allman scored his first career UARA National victory at Freedom Factory in May during the Bigley Memorial Tune-Up. He also won at South Alabama Speedway in the Frank Grill Memorial and will be looking to complete the hat trick.
Nick Neri is another UARA winner during the 2025 season on the entry list. Neri won the Billy Joe Ingram 154 at Auburndale Speedway in August. Coming off a fourth-place finish in last year’s Bigley Memorial, fan favorite Stephen Nasse will be another Florida driver to watch in this year’s event.
Majeski leads a group of Wisconsin drivers including fellow NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion Johnny Sauter, Casey Johnson, Grant Griesbach, Levon Van Der Geest and Kendrick Kreyer. Derek Griffith, Mike Hopkins and Dave Farrington, Jr. will make the trek from the northeast for the event, while Caden Kvapil will make the trip from North Carolina.
There will be a practice on Friday, November 28 ahead of Saturday's event. APACHE Rental Group qualifying begins at 4:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, November 29, with the top 20 drivers locking into the feature field. There will be two 15-lap B-Mains, with the top three finishers transferring from each B-Main. Two series provisionals are available if necessary to round out the field.
While the UARA Sportsman Series has wrapped up its 2025 championship season, it is hosting a 50-lap invitational event alongside the Bill Bigley, Sr. Memorial 128.
